This isn't magic. It is simple science. This table here can light a bulb when put near it. There is an embedded circuit that produces an electromagnetic field that acts on the mercury gas inside the bulbs. Watch the video below:



Designed by Florian Dussopt, a French product designer, The Guardian explains what's going on in the bulbs:
A fluorescent tube glows when an electrical voltage is set up across it. The electric field set up inside the tube excites atoms of mercury gas, making them emit ultraviolet light. This invisible light strikes the phosphor coating on the glass tube, making it glow.
That's wireless energy, and it a feat proved so elusive to those who want to harness it on a larger scale. Remember Nikola Tesla?

Could this one day be done on a larger scale like how Tesla dreamed of? Never say never. [Florian Dussopt; DesignBoom]
